I don't think so. As I wrote in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400461#c21 named is able to produce core file after setuid when /var/named directory is writable by named user. This is main reason why I want this directory writable. It means that you will have always core file when named gets sigsegv (no additional setup is needed, only writable /var/named).
To me, that is not enough reason. You have to do some work to allow coredumps at all. So, the admin may as well use /proc/sys/kernel/core_name_format to tell the kernel where to put the file.
